Movie Inspiration Travel: Von Trapp House Opens as Hotel

And the hotel bathrobes are made of curtains: The home that the Von Trapp family, the inspiration for "The Sound of Music" musical and movie, will become a "Sound of Music" themed hotel this July.

Tourists have come from as far away as New Zealand to see the house that a young nun once went to live in, and now the bus-tour demographic will have somewhere to stay!

Julie Andrews die-hards take note, the house is not the home that was depicted in the movie, although scenes for it were shot in real houses in Salzburg and in Bavaria. You can buy your own gazebo to build and sing in, though!
